Of all the characters Bill Hader has played on “Saturday Night Live,” I’m going to miss Stefon most of all. The club kid and “city correspondent” for Weekend Update said his farewells during Hader’s final episode Saturday. Like anchor and frequent foil Seth Meyers, I’m not sure I can go on. Watch!

Yep, that was former co-anchor Amy Poehler together again with Meyers. It’s an SNL tradition that old-timers stop by for the season finales and to send off longtime performers!

And like so many of Stefon’s recommended hot spots, this wedding has EVERYTHING — see if you can spot the club characters described in Stefon’s sketches in the pews, before and after Meyers bursts in, in the style of “The Graduate”!

For a further trip down memory lane, the Daily Beast put together this sweet supercut of Stefon’s greatest hits. It’s a must-see!

Not everyone loves Stefon — or Hader’s seeming inability to avoid breaking into a laugh during his appearances. But that’s not a bug, but a feature! In an interview with Bill Simmons, Hader revealed that co-writer John Mulvaney deliberately tries to crack him up on live television: "He'll either tell me as I walk out to throw me off, you know, to make me laugh, or he'll put stuff in without telling me."
